An experimental infection was induced in lambs with 1000, 4000, 7000, and 30000 T. ovis eggs. It was found for the first time that Cysticercus ovis could be established not only in the already known regions of the body, but also in the skin and the subcutaneous connective tissue. The lesions were followed up in the skin on the 10th, 20th, 30th, and 45th day following infection. Later on the cysticerci localized in the skin caused its total piercing. The skin portions above the cysticerci, localized in the subcutaneous tissue, proved unsuitable to treatment and handling and remained defective. Hides that were obtained from animals infected with Cysticercus ovis were shown to be discarded in the leather and fur industries.

Epidemiology of in Sheep and Goats in the Tropics: A Systematic Review.

Department of Animal Production Technology, College of Technology, The University of Bamenda, P.O. Box 39, Bambili, Bamenda, Cameroon.
Sheep and goat influence the socioeconomic sustainability of rural communities in tropical countries, but parasitic diseases and in particular are responsible for their low productivity. The occurrence of in most affected regions of the world has been associated to the presence of stray dogs in the grazing area, which play vital roles in the life cycle of the parasite and poor disposal of contaminated and seized offal, organs, and carcasses. The aim of this paper is to systematically review the epidemiology of infection in sheep and goats in the tropics between 2010 and 2022 through the analysis of published qualitative and quantitative data on prevalence, risk factors, organ distribution, and interventions.

Article Synopsis
- Cysticercosis, caused by the larval stage of Taenia hydatigena, significantly impacts the livestock sector in Pakistan, particularly affecting the economic viability of small ruminants such as goats and sheep.
- A study conducted in Multan found an overall prevalence of 31.33% of T. hydatigena, which was higher in female animals and those aged between 3-5 years, suggesting specific demographic vulnerabilities.
- Genetic analysis revealed 12 haplotypes with high genetic diversity, indicating an expanding population of T. hydatigena, while comparisons with global data showed substantial variation in genetic profiles among different regions, particularly low gene flow in certain areas. *
Lessons Learned and Outcomes from Risk-Based Modernisation of Post-Mortem Inspection and Disposition Criteria of Beef, Sheep, Goat, and Pig Carcasses in Australia.

The lessons learned from reviewing national risk assessments to modernise the Australian Standard for the post-mortem inspection and disposition judgement of beef, sheep, goat, and pig carcases are discussed. The initial risk profiles identified priorities for quantitative assessments. Broadly, the main difficulty encountered was the paucity of quantified performance for the current inspection.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the genetic variations and haplotypes of Cysticercus tenuicollis, a parasitic larval stage of the cestode Taenia hydatigena found in sheep and goats in Turkey.
- Researchers collected samples from 44 sheep and 26 goats, isolating genomic DNA and analyzing the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (CO1) gene to determine genetic diversity and relationships among the isolates.
- Results showed 34 different haplotypes, high genetic diversity, and indications of population expansion, suggesting strong evolutionary dynamics within the C. tenuicollis populations.

Cysticercus fasciolaris is a parasitic helminth that usually infects feline and canine mammal hosts. The intermediate hosts (rodents, occasionally lagomorphs, and humans) get infected by the consumption of feed or water contaminated with eggs. Rodents are vectors of disease and reservoirs of various zoonotic parasites.
